Exam CV0-004 topic 1 question 28 discussion

The correct answer is: D. Utility costs will be reduced on premises ⸻ Explanation: A direct effect of moving workloads from on-premises infrastructure to the cloud is: • Reduced use of on-premises hardware, resulting in lower: • Power consumption • Cooling requirements • Physical space This leads to lower utility costs (e.g., electricity and HVAC). ⸻ Why the others are incorrect: • A. Reorganize the reporting structure – Not a direct effect of cloud migration; it’s organizational and may or may not happen. • B. Compatibility issues on premises after migration – Compatibility concerns are usually before or during migration, not after and not on-prem. • C. Cloud solutions require less resources – Not always true. Cloud may be more efficient, but resource needs depend on workload, and sometimes cloud can be more costly without optimization.
